ABOUT US
CMAT specialist in overhead conveyors, roller conveyors, will support your company from the design to the commissioning of your project.
CMAT has been a specialist in overhead conveyor systems for over 30 years, supporting industrial companies seeking to optimize production flows, reduce manual handling efforts and improve operational performance. With recognized expertise in overhead material handling, we design durable systems perfectly adapted to the requirements of each industry.
Our overhead conveyor solutions are deployed across a wide range of industries, including food processing, aerospace, industrial laundry, surface treatment, automotive, logistics, retail store fitting, and many other industrial environments.
In addition to our conveyors, CMAT offers a range of peripheral equipment, both floor-based and overhead, to optimize existing production lines: workstations, storage systems, sorting devices, ergonomic solutions and maintenance accessories.
We develop one of the most extensive ranges of overhead conveyor systems on the market, including manual overhead conveyors, rope or cable conveyors, powered conveyors, accumulation systems, belt conveyors, chain conveyors, gravity conveyors, as well as hybrid configurations tailored to our customers’ needs.
Each system is designed, assembled and tested in our facilities in France, in accordance with strict quality standards. This full control from engineering and manufacturing to installation, commissioning and maintenance ensures a high level of quality and proven reliability.
Our
sales team and responsive after-sales service support customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their conveyor systems, ensuring performance, availability and long-term reliability
both in France and internationally.

Overhead Conveyors with Rope, Belt
Hook or Carriers
Option: Overhead conveyor for fruits and vegetables
CMAT overhead conveyors with rope, cable or belt ensure the continuous feeding of workstations through a closed monorail circuit, designed for handling light loads. They can be equipped with automatic loading systems using hooks or carriers, in single-item or stacked mode, as well as mechanized or automated unloading systems. Parts, crates or cartons are efficiently transferred to washing or processing areas via chutes, ramps or unloading arms.
Overhead Conveyor for Fruits and Vegetables
This system provides overhead or floor-level material handling for empty packaging or fruits and vegetables, using trays or hooks. Combined with roller tables, the overhead conveyor allows product handling from the reception stage or carton former through to final packaging.
Benefits of overhead rope conveyor
Advantages
- Flexibility
- Modular system that can be adapted to the building and needs
- Moving from one room to another and changing levels (floor)
- Hook: custom hook or swing
Performance
- Clears the floor space
- Avoids the movement
and handling of loads - Not or little maintenance.
- Continuous feeding of workstations
Safety and security
- Ergonomic system with hanging or unhooking station at height
- Material safety components: housing, corner...
- Peripheral protection
Automatic Loading and Unloading of Boxes, Containers and Trays
CMAT has developed peripheral systems to facilitate and reduce handling operations on its overhead conveyors. Mechanized or automated loading solutions using carriers or hooks ensure a seamless connection between the carton former and the overhead conveyor. We also offer mechanized or automated unloading systems that direct containers or boxes toward packing stations, washers or compactors, optimizing material flow and improving process ergonomics.
Workstation Supply : Storage Systems, Lifts, Tables and Conveyors
Ergonomic material handling assistance systems, complementary to conveyors, are designed to organize and optimize workstations. Rotary storage units, vertical storage systems and lifts ensure mechanized product transfer and storage, while reducing physical strain associated with repetitive movements and awkward postures.
Roller conveyors and roller tables, gravity-driven, manual or motorized, can be integrated into packaging lines from the carton former to the shipping area. Custom-designed solutions, including full stainless-steel versions, meet hygiene and ergonomic requirements. Weighing systems can be integrated directly at table level according to operational needs.
Overhead conveyor solutions tailored to the needs
of each industry :
Manual overhead conveyor
The manual overhead conveyor is an aerial material handling assistance system, particularly suited for industrial applications such as surface treatment and painting. It allows the handling, transfer, and storage of heavy parts and products while reducing the physical strain associated with manual handling. Designed to limit repetitive motions, awkward postures, and operational strain, these systems contribute to improving workstation ergonomics and operator comfort.
